A Plea for the Livery Horse.

If you hire horse at the livery
stable, you ought to treat him as if he
were your own. If you drive out ten
miles, you ought not to attend to your
own wants until you see him properly
cared for If an honest man, you will
remember that you are under two-fold
obligation to that animal-an obliga-
ton to its owner and an obligation to
the animal. You are the debtor of
both, and though you pay the price of
the horse, yet no money can release
you from the duty and moral claim
involved in the bargain between your
self and the owner. To neglect the
poor speeches. beast, that can not APP
peal in your tongue to the ,mmisera-
ton of a passer-by, is simply unpar-
donable, and the man who is guilty of
such neglect is worse than a man. The
arrant infidelity of Balaam and his
sordid love of money, are secondary
crimes compared with his brutal abuse
of the ass which he rode, and the Lord
wrought miracle to secure allowed
remonstrance. We have but one in
stance in the whole bible of dumb
animal speaking, and the miracle was
wrought to condemn the sin of cruelty
to animals. -Nev Orleans Picayasfae.

why Two Women Rage.

Worth has committed the fault, not
to be forgiven by woman, of dupli-
eating ball-dresses for two leading So
ciety women at the capital. 1t all
came out at the British legation ball
recently, and the little scene was
funny one. The first of the two to
enter the ballroom was lady from
Philadelphia, the daughter of a million
aire in Congress. Her dress elected
general admiration, and the remark,
mo doubt of that being Worth
dress" went in little buzz around the
room. A few moments later New
York woman appeared in dress of the
same lovely maize color, the exact
color and fashioned as much like the
other dress as two peas. They met,
and there were looks--it need not be
said they were looks of establishment,
disappointment, and polite chagrin.
They saw the explanation in the dupli-
Gated gowns, and no words were neces-
sary. But women usually find words
necessary if only TO relieve their feel
ings. II hope-you-haven't a-pink
-one-too," gasped the New York
woman, family, seized with the horrible
foreboding that Worth might be wicked
enough to duplicate pink as well as
yellow. O-I-have," replied the
Philadelphia woman in tones equally
faint and despairing. When they had
sufficiently recovered to talk it oyer
calmly, the truth was told, and they
knew the pink dresses were also dupli-
Gates. Fortunately, as third party
said, ''they are awfully rich, and can
afford to throw away the dresses if they
choose" But they are very mad

Mr.. Geo. Schilling spoke in the Con-
cert hall last Thursday afternoon and
evening, and in spite of the stormy
weather he had quite a number of
auditors. In the afternoon he spoke in
German and in the evening in English.
He spoke we'll, and although think he
convinced some of his hearers that the
Knights of Labor are not anarchists nor
communists. His ideas of the neces-
sarY changes in taxation are novel-a
man possessed of less than $1,000 in
property is to 60 free, and from a thous-
and dollars upward graduate the tax up
to 10 per cent. This idea will give him
good many followers. Quite a num-
Der of farmers who had come in early
to hear MIR. Schilling were detained in
town over night on account of the over
flow of branches the rain and melt
ing snow, and; ideas were
discussed pro and., different
places where the parties.n. nd while
some of his ideas. such as the gradua-
ton of taxes, the sending of children
under Is years to school instead of
sending them to work in factories or
the free-trade idea, of furnishing cheap
goods of foreign make, were favored by
all, only that most of them thought
them impracticable. Mr.. Schilling has
some followers here but not many.

profusion of all manner of epistola-

were number of promissory notes

amounting in the aggregate sum of
$1,000, which were received from the
gentlemanly general manager, Geo. B.
Harris, of the c., B. & N. r. r., accom-
panied to each of the makers by the
following letter:

Married, at st. Charles Baromaeo
church, February 81, 1887, by Rev.
Father Drexel, Reinhard Octriau, of

happy couple oceans of good luck.
From the church they all adjourned to
the home of the BRIDES parents, Mr..

full repast was awaiting them, and after
that, closing the festivities with dance.

Apork-packing establishment at Cass-
vile is one of the needs of our town,
and one of the possibilities of the near
future. Some of our merchants and
business men are seriously considering
the matter of forming stock company
for the above purpose. This would be
a stepin the right direction and it would
employ quite lot of laborers and help
to build up the town.

A new revolver has been patented
which is expected to be less liable to
be accidentally discharged than any of
its predecessors. Its main feature is
concealed hammer, inclosed in the
lock frame, which can not be uninten-

is so arranged that it can not be
pulled unless safety-leyer in the
rear of the lock frame is first pressed.

an entertainment at Harper's theatre in
many years will witness the extraordi>
narv production of The Comedy of
Errors" by the Robson and Crane COM
pany at Harper's theatre tonight, the sale
of seats up to noon today being in the
neighborhood of $500. Mr.. Robson will
appear as the Dromio of Syracuse and
Mr.. Crane as the Dromio of Ephesus:
The night on Monday February 18th.
1879. at the Park theatre, New York.
witnessed the first performance in twenty
years of Shakspesre's "Comedy Of Errors"
Within that time all the well know n
plays of the great master had been
frequently performed in the legitimate
houses. but the Comedy Of Errors" was
neglected by the players and forgotten
by the public; and it remained for Rob.
son and Crane, whose theatrical partner
ship had been inaugurated the previous
year, to give the present generation the
first stage view of this, the most laughable
and ingenious comedy of Shakespeare
The comedians Of thirty years ago-Jef-
ferson, Burton, Robson and Owens had
given occasional performances of the
Dromios, but only in farce form, the whole
entertainment covering not more than
an hour in action, with the text so mutil-
ated, and the action so distorted, as TO be
scarcely recogniza' le by the Shaksperian
student.
An effort to dignity the character of q
play which had been so badly treated by
actors of the past, was regarded with but
little favor by the many wise beads of the
theatre. The dramatist who claimed to
have furnished the "mental pabulum of
two generations of intellectual play
goers' rs'-Dion Boucicsut by name-ob-
livious of the fact that the old actor
Macklin had successfully rescued the
grave character of Shylock from the
degradation of a century and more of
buffoonery, declared it an impossible task
for the comedians to impress the public
with a sense of the high humor and dig
nifty of the great play.
Actors from the time of Shakespeare
himself, quoth Mr.. Boucicault, "have
treated it in farcical spirit, and in its
trifling shape. it will remain to the end of
time" The opinion of the public did
not coincide with that of the distinguish
ed dramatist. and the proudest moment
in the careers of Messrs. Robson &
Crane was the night aforementioned,
when the COMEDY of Errors" was pre-
sented according to the original text. and
secured at once the approval of an audi
epcc as critical, profound and laughter
loving as had ever assembled IN New
York theatre Since that eventful occa>
sion the COMEDY of Errors" has taken
its place on the Shskesperan stage on
equal terms with its great rival, "The
Merry Wives of Windsor and the names
of Robson and Cane will he indelibly
associated. not only with the fact that
they were the foremost Dromios of their
time, but they rescued from threatened
Oblivion one of the greatest plays of The
immOr tai Master.
